Review on Frosted Fun: Exploring Creativity with Shrinky Dinks Activity Set by Todd Roybal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WORKS LIKE A CHARM - but DON'T PANIC and leave it on longer!

I'm a teacher and my kids made keyrings out of shrink wrap for Father's Day. They came out AMAZING!** One SUPER IMPORTANT TIP: The packaging says it only takes 2-3 minutes to fully shrink. I timed the shrink time and after 2 minutes the shrink paper had curled up and looked like it was completely ruined so I panicked and tried various ways to smooth it out - DON'T DO THIS! Just trust and leave them there for about 5-7 minutes and they will go from completely curled up to completely flat and beautiful. If you take them out already rolled up, don't worry, just put them back in and they'll fix themselves! I cut the shrink paper into quarters and punched holes with a hole punch before baking and it turned out to be the perfect size. I also made some super cute custom cat keychains! My students and I used colored pencils for the drawings and then spray painted them over to seal them. Apply clear nail polish to mine and that will work too. So easy and looks great!
